* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: During the episodes where Bubbie isn't involved with the main plot, we’re left with the gleeful adventure seeking Flapjack and grumpy, lazy {{Jerkass}} K'nuckles.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The main characters consist of [[AllLovingHero Flapjack]] (nice), [[LazyBum Capt]][[TheCynic ain]] [[BadLiar K’nuckles]] (mean) and {{Gentle Giant}}/{{Mama Bear}}/occasional {{Hypocrite}} Bubbie (in-between).

* StockScream: A deep scream is heard whenever a GrossUpCloseUp occurs.

It's worth pointing out that since Flapjack's end, many of its key writers and storyboard artists have gone on to create their own series which went on to gain critical acclaim shortly afterwards, including Pendleton Ward (''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''), J.G. Quintel (''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''), Alex Hirsch (''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''), and Patrick [=McHale=] (''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall''). Van Orman himself went on to co-produce the [[SpiritualSuccessor similarly-humored]] ''WesternAnimation/SanjayAndCraig'' for Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and ''WesternAnimation/HomeAdventuresWithTipAndOh'' for Creator/{{Netflix}}, and co-direct ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie2''.

* GrossUpCloseUp: Oh so much. So so so ''SOOOO MUCH!'' In fact, this show contains extensive amounts of [[ExtremeCloseUp extremely gratuitous]] [[GrossUpCloseUp gross-up close-ups]], that it makes the likes of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' looks like WesternAnimation/CareBears by comparison at times.

* {{Expy}}: Peppermint Larry is a fleshy [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Dr. Nefarious]].

* BodyHorror: K'nuckles is basically a balloon with a face and little stumpy upper limbs. When his "butt" (a block of wood with wooden legs attached to it) is lost, his lower end is shown like a bag tied off with a string, and his hands are both prosthetic.
